Damn! I'da paid good money to see that, and all I had to do was read the Daily Mail.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] This is the moment a runaway Venezuela
 ...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south...

is dumped alive in the ocean with his hands zip-tied and an anchor around his waist in Dire Revenge for stealing 450 lbs of cocaine - and cash - from a cartel.
Reinaldo Fuentes is seen bound and gagged with blood stains on the back of his head before his killers struggle to heave him - and the anchor - over the side of a boat into the Caribbean Sea near Martinique.
The footage, shared to social media, shows Fuentes staring at the person recording the video. He is then dumped overboard and left to drown.
None of his kidnappers are identified but one is heard in the background of the video saying 'make sure none of our faces can be seen' and another later said 'he has no way to save himself'.
"Goodbye, Mister Bond."
In an elaborate - and poorly thought out - ruse, Fuentes, a middleman for the Venezuelan Clan del Cartel, earlier had dumped a shipment of narcotics worth $10 million at sea and fabricated a fake coasties pursuit to explain not bringing the drugs back to his bosses and kept the cash.
He then went back out on the water to collect the cocaine, repackaged it and took it to another Caribbean island.
But the scheme went awry when his henchmen snitched, leading to his watery demise on July 17 - the day he was invited to a cartel meeting.
Veteran journalism Rafael Tolentino revealed Monday on 'Esto No Es Radio,' a daily morning show in the Dominican Republic, that Fuentes obtained a fake national identification document that allowed him to live under the name of Miguel Fulcar in the Dominican Republic, making it impossible for him to be detected by authorities.
Fuentes was reportedly dating a prominent lawyer, caring for her daughter, in the Dominican city of Bonao.
He was a native of Sucre, and had three children from a prior relationship in Venezuela.
Fuentes allegedly controlled drug dealing in the Bonao neighborhood of Buenos Aires, where he picked up the 'Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
' nickname due to illicit dealings with Middle Eastern narcos.
Two members of his organization were previously killed in a shootout with the police in Buenos Aires. An investigation led cops to a home were a cache of weapons were recovered from a Bonao home. The weapons reportedly belonged to Fuentes.
Sources told Tolentino Fuentes entered the country July 14 and was there for two days before leaving.
Sources told Tolentino that Fuentes was murdered because he had been involved with stealing a multi-million-dollar cocaine shipment destined for Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands.
